XML Software..

XML Software are editing software and parsers. There are plenty of shareware and freeware on the market, especially for parsers.

Editing Software

Several authoring tools are currently available for XML. It is clear that many previously existing editors (for HTML, SGML, etc.) will become capable of dealing with XML in the near future (some are already).

Parser

There are two different kinds of XML parsers.

• Non Validating Parser: These parser do not check a document against any DTD (Document Type Definition). It is only checked whether the document is properly marked up according to XML syntax rules (well-formed or not).
• Validating Parser: checks, whether the document is valid. The parser verifies that the document conforms to a specific DTD (either internal or external to the XML file being parsed).
